      Oh wow, that’s awesome. I’ve been reading the 2001: A Space Odyssey trilogy, which centers around Jupiter and Europa, so this helps me visualize the moon! It’s way more cracked with streaks of red than I imagined.

        To be fair, I think it’s an enhanced image. Actual moon color is more subdued if I recall. But the enhanced images are always what come to mind for me 😊

          You’re right! 3001: The Final Odyssey. I only have the first three so I didn’t realize there was a fourth. Thanks for mentioning it!

      when you come home after a 10 hour shift and just fall on the couch and sleep so you can get up enough energy to eat dinner and kiss your wife

          I choose to work ten hour shifts so I don’t have to work Fridays! It’s not always a bad thing.

          10-hour shifts are very common in the US. Working 50 hours a week is fairly common, though sometimes people work four 10-hour days instead of the usual five 8-hour days that people know as a “9 to 5 job.”

          I was recently looking at a job listing where they were hiring for 2 shifts of the same role. The first was 50 hours a week working 10-hour days from 7am to 5pm, and the second shift worked 42 hour weeks with four 9-hour days where you worked from 3pm to midnight and then a shortened 6 hour day on Fridays. These kinds of schedules are the norm in manufacturing and logistics jobs, and in my experience, the higher your salary and the more senior your role, the fewer hours you’re expected to work. And you might even get benefits like vacation time and sick days/pay!

          oh in the united states they can legally work us to death it’s capitalism++ over here

          homie in the pic is wearing a Raiders jersey so probably in the states.

          Doesn’t mean that’s the truth to the photo but it’s an educated guess, as he mentioned he had to work overnight which probably meant a double shift or similar.

          Where are 10 hour shifts not a thing? Has there been some wierd place where shifts have gotten shorter dispite people being unable to afford anything?
